The power of dreams is great, but sometimes to make those dreams come true, life presents you with numerous challenges from the very beginning. Today, Ranking MLM presents a young network marketing leader whose life story can inspire and motivate many people. Business people but not only… Ladies and gentlemen, Kefi Niazi!
Kefi Niazi, Bydzyne
KEFI, MANY PEOPLE WOULD SAY THAT THE FEATURE THAT DISTINGUISHES YOU FROM OTHER NETWORK MARKETING LEADERS IS YOUR YOUNG AGE. BUT I WOULD SAY THAT SUCH A TRAIT IS THAT YOU ARE AN EXTREMELY NICE AND LIKEABLE PERSON. WOULD YOU AGREE WITH THE THESIS THAT THIS IS A DESIRABLE TRAIT IN BUSINESS, OR SHOULD A BUSINESSMAN BE SOMEHOW AGGRESSIVE?
First of all thank you Ranking MLM Magazine for reaching out to me. It’s an honour to be here with you. Coming to your question. I think as a leader it’s important to have a pleasing personality specially in our industry because we are in contact with people day and night. You should be aggressive in your actions. The people should see you working everyday. They should trust that if they follow you they will be having results. Be nice with people and aggressive in your daily actions which bring your business forward.
KEFI, LET’S TALK ABOUT YOUR BACKGROUND. YOU HAVE AN AMAZING STORY TO SHARE WITH THE POPLE.
I was born in Afghanistan. When I was 3-4 years old we moved to Pakistan because of the war in Afghanistan. I still remember arriving at my uncles house and discovering that we have very little room. We were a 3 generations family living together in a small house. If you know Afghan people they have big families and lots of children. We started there from scratch. Soon after that my father decided to come to Europe as a refugee. We were still living in Pakistan with my mom. After few years when my father got documents here in Austria. He was able to bring us here. It was June 2008 when we arrived to Austria. Arriving at our apartment which my father rented we saw that there was no furniture. The whole apartment was empty. We had to sleep on the floor for a while before we could afford to have normal beds. We had to start from scratch again.
WAS IT DIFFICULT FOR YOU TO ADAPT TO THE NEW REALITY, NEW COUNTRY, LANGUAGE, ETC.? LET ME REPHRASE IT: WHAT WAS THE HARDEST THING IN THIS SITUATION?
There were many challenges. You come to a country where you don’t know anyone, don’t speak the language, different culture and a very different life. I discovered shortly after that my experience in Pakistan had helped me to become very good at adapting to new situations. The hardest challenge I would say was learning the language ASAP so that I can communicate with others.
I KNOW THAT NETWORK MARKETING WASN’T YOUR FIRST CHOICE TO MAKE BREAD AND BUTTER. YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BECOME A DOCTOR. WHERE DID THIS IDEA COME FROM AND WHY DID YOU CHANGE YOUR MIND?
In Afghanistan everyone aspire to become a doctor, lawyer or an engineer. These professionals are well respected. My parents always said my son will become a doctor. My uncle would come to visit us and say my nephew will be a doctor. Because of the influence I saw no other way for myself other than taking this path . When I got older I asked myself the question: what do I really want to do in my life. I could not answer this question. I was lost for a while I did not know what to do. That was the time when I started with personal development. Soon after I figured out that i wanted to be an entrepreneur.
OK KEFI, LET’S GET BACK IN TIME A LITTLE. HOW DID YOU GET INTRODUCED TO NETWORK MARKETING AND, HONESTLY, WHAT WAS THAT EXPERIENCE LIKE FOR YOU?
Me and my best friend were invited to a convention by a friend. My best friend went, I did not because I did not have the money to pay for the ticket. He met a successful leader there and got in contact with him. He would always tell me about the leader and his mentorship. I was looking for an opportunity to meet him as well. One day my best friend called and said that he was invited to his house and there would be a multi millionaire from California showing up as well and it was about business and that I could join him. It was a home event. To be honest I did not understand anything and my best friend too. He was not in the business yet. I was just excited about the environment and meeting like minded people.
TELL US ALSO PLEASE WHAT PEOPLE AND EVENTS POSITIVELY AFFECTED YOUR LIFE? BUSINESSLIKE AND OTHERWISE.
I got involved in network marketing and I did nothing and was just a customer. I could not see the big picture. My best friend invited me to a convention which was abroad. That event changed my life. It’s very true when people say Leaders are born at events. I remember having long conversations with some 7 figure earners to understand this business. At that event I made the decision to build this business and that I will never miss an event that I am qualified to attend. If it was not my best friend and the people at that event I would not be in this industry.
WHY DO YOU WHAT YOU DO? WHAT IS YOUR DRIVE IN MLM, YOUR PERSONAL „WHY”? YOU SAID ONCE THAT YOU HAVE ALWAYS HAD BIG DREAMS, THAT YOU HAVE ALWAYS WANTED TO PROVIDE A GOOD LIFE FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. IS THIS YOUR BIGGEST DRIVE?
I saw my family struggling financially from very young age as I mentioned before. Having misunderstandings, arguments and fights between family members because of lack of money. I decided back then when it’s my time to work I want to make lots of money. My biggest drive is to break the financial norms in my family. Our next generation should never be worrying about money. They don’t have to go through what I went through. Off course also providing the same opportunity to others and seeing them achieving their goals and dreams.
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN IN NETWORK MARKETING AND YOUR CURRENT COMPANY? HOW IS THE GROWTH IN YOUR ORGANISATION WITH YOUR CURRENT COMPANY?
I am in the industry a little over 3 years. I started with my current company 6 months ago. I started first as a customer and then 4 months ago decided to build the business. The last 4 months we laid down the foundation now we are in a position to make some big things happen.
HOW DO YOU RECRUIT PEOPLE THESE DAYS? TELL US A LITTLE ABOUT YOUR KNOW-HOW.
I am using social media to recruit for my business. I knew from the very beginning of my carrier that social media will be very important to build this business. We can connect with people around the world and that’s very powerful.
HOW DO YOU BUILD YOUR BUSINESS AND PERSONAL BRAND ON FACEBOOK AND SOCIAL MEDIA?
I have a simple strategy: I build a brand around myself – i give value to people through my posts – I don’t post about MLM or my company – I build real relationships with my contacts on social media – when the time is right I reach out to them about the business. That’s it.
Kefi Niazi, Bydzyne
KEFI, I THINK THAT YOU WILL AGREE WITH ME IF I SAY THAT SPORT IS BASED ON ONE THING: COMPETITION. FOLLOWING THAT LOGIC, WE CAN SAY THAT WORK IS BASED ON EFFECTIVENESS, FRIENDSHIP ON TRUST AND ADVERTISING ON HAPPINESS, FOR INSTANCE. HOW ABOUT NETWORK MARKETING? WHAT IS THE ONE THING THAT NETWORK MARKETING IS BASED ON?
There are many important things but if I have to choose one thing it would be: building real relationships with lots of people. We are in a people based business. People don’t follow companies or products. People follow people.
PLEASE TELL US MORE ABOUT YOUR CURRENT COMPANY AND THE PRODUCTS YOU HAVE.
I am working with Bydzyne. Bydzyne is the very first Hybrid E-commerce company in network marketing. The vision is to become the Amazon of network marketing. We don’t focus on a single niche, we are involved in multiple verticals. The company gives people the power of choice. You can choose with which product you want to work. What I love about our company is our leadership team. Our owners were involved in network marketing as distributors for 30 years . They really understand what the distributors in the field need to create a huge team and provide them with tools and support.
HOW DO YOU SEE YOUR FUTURE KEFI?
I see myself traveling around the world and becoming a servant leader to make a positive impact in this world and leave a legacy behind.
FINGERS CROSSED FOR YOU. ALL THE BEST. THANK YOU FOR THE INTERVIEW!
